Your words this weekend were a gift – your playing, the perfect coda. Sitting in the crowd next to my father, sister and directly behind my brother, the graduate, I would like you to know there wasn’t a dry eye to be found. Congratulations to your son and may you continue to speak and play music – both are good medicine for the world.
